How many automobile accidents reported in the last five years involved (a) drink driving and (b) speeding, broken down by police force area.

Data about injury road accidents are collected by the Police and reported to the Scottish Executive using the “Stats 19” statistical report format. These returns do not cover "damage only" accidents.
The only figures on drink driving accidents which are available centrally are the Department for Transport's estimates of the numbers of personal injury accidents which involved motor vehicle drivers or riders with illegal alcohol levels. They are not produced for individual Police Force areas. The latest available estimates for Scotland appear in Table 22 of Road Accidents Scotland 2003, published by the Scottish Executive, copies of which are available in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. number 34523). Table 19 provides statistics of the numbers of motorists in each police force area who were involved in injury road accidents who failed (or refused) a breath test, but such figures do not cover drink-drivers who were not breath tested.
Figures on accidents involving speeding are not available centrally.
Traditionally, the road accident statistics returns did not record the causes of the accidents. However, the "Stats 19" specification was expanded, at the start of 2005, to include information about the factors which contribute to personal injury road accidents, such as (i) "impaired by alcohol"; (ii) "exceeding speed limit", and (iii) "travelling too fast for the conditions". In due course, therefore, the statistical system will provide information about these contributory factors for personal injury accidents.
